The Masthead is on
the contents as well
as the front cover
this is to further
advertise the
magazine and
branding.
The Main Heading is
over the main image
on this contents page
it says “raising hell”
this is anchoring the
front cover yet again
with the theme of hell
and its association
with the band “slayer”
The Layout is very simple and makes the page look like all the images fit
perfectly and it is much more appealing than a busy contents page. It seems
as though there are two columns going horizontal one is large and takes up
about 2/3s of the page which contains the main image and the other column
takes up the final 3rd and contains 3 other page numbers and their stories.
The Main Image is again of someone from the band Slayer, he is the lead singer and bassist of the
band, the magazine has managed to use pictures of 2 of the band members, one on the cover and
one on the contents page, they both anchor each other and continue to show the audience that the
main magazine storyline will be about their band. The image is a close up and is very dark compared
to the rest of the page, this relates back to their band and the connotations of hell, he, much like
Kerry King on the cover, is looking angrily directly at the camera to reinforce the genre of music.
Other Writing/Titles on
this page consist of
different band names
which will have pages
about them ion the
magazine, this is used
just so that the audience
know how to find the
article about that band
straight away. Another
reference to the front
cover is where it says
“how metal shocked the
world” which it also said
on the front cover.
